Thich Nhat Hanh, "Enjoying the Ultimate: Commentary on the Nirvana Chapter of the Chinese Dharmapada"
English | ISBN: 1946764825 | 2021 | 192 pages | MOBI | 678 KB
For Buddhists seeking perfection, the Sanskrit word "nirvana" is held as the unreachable goal. But in this definitive, direct translation of the Chinese Dharmapada by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, nirvana is not what you think it is.

Jeremy Black, "English Nationalism: A Short History"
English | ISBN: 1849049858 | 2018 | 196 pages | PDF | 1376 KB
Englishness is an idea, a consciousness and a proto-nationalism. There is no English state within the United Kingdom, no English passport, Parliament or currency, nor any immediate prospect of any. That does not mean that England lacks an identity, although English nationalism, or at least a distinctive nationalism, has been partly forced upon the English by the development in the British Isles of strident nationalisms that have contested Britishness, and with much success.

David Yeung, "Engaging Multiple Personalities"
English | ISBN: 1496154215 | 2014 | 232 pages | MOBI | 407 KB
The general public is bewildered and fascinated by Multiple Personality Disorder/Dissociative Identity Disorder. Through books, television and movies, a distorted view of DID is often presented. While it may make for good entertainment, it fails to truly present the depth and intensity of the inherent trauma. Outside the ordinary day-to-day life experience of most people, it is hard to understand. Ignoring past trauma simply will not help a patient. In his psychiatric practice, the author encountered a number of his patients' alters face-to-face. He found that the most effective course of therapy was to engage them directly. Talking to alters is a strange, serious and ultimately compelling experience. They are not real according to our customary definitions, but neither are they false or fake. They are survivors of childhood abuse, present in shared flesh and blood. The author discusses the phenomenon of DID through case histories, and how it manifests clinically. Most important, he elucidates techniques necessary to help these traumatized patients heal. DID patients can successfully engage in and profit from therapy. By processing the impact of their past traumatic memory, they may reclaim their present.

Verner D. Mitchell, "Encyclopedia of the Black Arts Movement"
English | ISBN: 1538101459 | 2019 | 410 pages | MOBI | 3 MB
The Black Arts Movement (BAM) encompassed a group of artists, musicians, novelists, and playwrights whose work combined innovative approaches to literature, film, music, visual arts, and theatre. With a heightened consciousness of black agency and autonomy―along with the radical politics of the civil rights movement, the Black Muslims, and the Black Panthers―these figures represented a collective effort to defy the status quo of American life and culture. Between the late 1950s and the end of the 1970s, the movement produced some of America's most original and controversial artists and intellectuals.

Timothy Newark Tim Newark, "Empire of Crime: Organised Crime in the British Empire"
English | ISBN: 1845967615 | 2011 | 339 pages | PDF | 9 MB
Sometimes the best intentions can have the worst results. In 1908, British reformers banned the export of Indian opium to China. As a result, the world price of opium soared to a new high and a century of lucrative drug smuggling began. Just as the banning of alcohol in America during Prohibition made illicit fortunes for the Mafia and other gangsters, organized criminals grew rich on the trade of illegal narcotics throughout the British Empire.

Andrew Beatty, "Emotional Worlds: Beyond an Anthropology of Emotion "
English | ISBN: 1107020999 | 2019 | 314 pages | PDF | 1504 KB
Are emotions human universals? Is the concept of emotion an invention of Western tradition? If people in other cultures live radically different emotional lives how can we ever understand them? Using vivid, often dramatic, examples from around the world, and in dialogue with current work in psychology and philosophy, Andrew Beatty develops an anthropological perspective on the affective life, showing how emotions colour experience and transform situations; how, in turn, they are shaped by culture and history. In stark contrast with accounts that depend on lab simulations, interviews, and documentary reconstruction, he takes the reader into unfamiliar cultural worlds through a 'narrative' approach to emotions in naturalistic settings, showing how emotions tell a story and belong to larger stories. Combining richly detailed reporting with a careful critique of alternative approaches, he argues for an intimate grasp of local realities that restores the heartbeat to ethnography.

Melanie Hubbard, "Emily Dickinson: Poetics in Context"
English | ISBN: 1108491766 | 2020 | 268 pages | PDF | 11 MB
This book re-assesses Dickinson's manuscripts, style, and statements to arrive at a historically appropriate conception of poetics. It compares her composition practices, such as variant generation and writing on already-marked scraps, with those of her peers in nineteenth-century American popular manuscript culture, tracing them to the pervasive influence of Scottish Common Sense philosophy, Hume's scepticism, and associationism in philosophy of mind and early neuroscience. The argument consults the archives and considers Dickinson's reading, in and out of school, in philosophy, rhetoric, and semiotic theory, as well as her training in inductive science and her familiarity with ideas about electricity, evolution, emotion, sympathy, and the brain. Combining close readings of poems with contextualizing information about contemporary conflicts in intellectual history, the book contends that Dickinson takes the making of poems to be her philosophical praxis. It depicts a Dickinson committed to thinking about the physical constitution of human consciousness and the historicity and materiality of one of its chief modes, language.

Matteo Longo, "Elliptic Curves and Modular Forms in Arithmetic Geometry: Celebrating Massimo Bertolini's 60th Birthday, Milano, Italy, September 12-16, 2022"
English | ISBN: 3032131227 | 2026 | 408 pages | PDF | 12 MB
This book arises from the conference "Elliptic Curves and Modular Forms in Arithmetic Geometry, Celebrating Massimo Bertolini's 60th birthday" held in Milano in September 2022. Massimo Bertolini is one of the most influential number theorists of the last 30 years, whose results and ideas have been a source of inspiration for many mathematicians working in the fascinating area of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, a Millennium Problem of the Clay Institute. The beauty of the subject, combined with the deep mathematics involved, attracts some of the most brilliant mathematicians in all the world. The book of Massimo Bertolini opened the way to study these problems, using several different techniques, especially of p-adic nature, and is recognized as a leading mathematician in this area. Because of the special position of Massimo in this area of number theory, many influential mathematicians attended the conference in Milano and the Summer School in Essen in his honor on the occasion of his 60th birthday.
